POTENZA (5) ran below expectations last time at Kawasaki, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths starting at $2.60. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. ASBURY (4) last raced when successful by a neck over 1500m at Funabashi four months ago. Expect her to play a major role. MEISHO KOJIRO (7) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1400m at Kawasaki. One of the main contenders. KAMAKURA BAKUFU (1) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 2.25 lengths over 1400m at this track. Well placed and should be about the money.
